20 Understanding Course Elements 3. Personalize or modify the information by adding one or all of the following content modules by clicking the Add Content buttons. After you add a content module, go back to the Course Home Page and click Edit to edit the contents. • Course Information—This content module is already created for you when you create the course. You can edit the information by clicking Edit on the Course Home Page. You can type the name and e-mail address of any additional professor or contact person you want to include on your course home page. Also, you can choose whether or not to display the Insta-poll icon by clicking Include Insta-Poll within this module. The Insta-poll feature allows professors to orally ask questions in class, which students can respond to anonymously. You can poll the class with yes/ no, true/false, or multiple choice questions. You and your students can view responses as a bar graph or pie chart. For more information about InstaPolls, see “Incorporating <strong>TWEN</strong> Into Your Classroom Lectures” on page 53. Note If you made changes to your course information and want to revert back to the default information, click Reset to default course information above the text editor. • Text+Image—You can add this content module to include images on your course home page. You can also add customized text to your home page. For example, you can add a brief description of your course. To attach a graphic (.jpg or .gif file) to your course home page, click the Browse button in the Add a Photo area. Locate the file you want to attach and then click Open. The path and file name (such as c:\picture.gif) are displayed in the text box. Figure 3-8 shows an example of a photograph on a course home page. Figure 3-8.
